Cricket World Cup 2023: How Did Pakistan Stars React To "No Pay For 5 Months" Claim? Coach Replies
Pakistan coach Grant Bradburn on Monday shrugged off claims his players haven't been paid for five months, insisting the squad was determined to rescue their faltering Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign.

"In terms of the noise around the team, look, playing for Pakistan and working within this team is a huge privilege," said Bradburn on Monday.

Cricket World Cup - "Temba Bavuma Must Step Up...": Graeme Smith's Advice For South Africa Captain
South Africa owes its success to one of its "most destructive" middle-order, said former skipper Graeme Smith, who wants captain Temba Bavuma to step up to guide the team to a first-ever World Cup title.

Watch: Virat Kohli's Passionate Celebration After Ben Stokes' Dismissal In World Cup Clash
Mohammed Shami led an inspired bowling display as India hammered England by 100 runs on Sunday to stay unbeaten in the Cricket World Cup 2023 and all but push the defending champions out of the semi-final race. Chasing a tricky 230 for victory in Lucknow, England collapsed to 129 all out in 34.5 overs to suffer their fifth defeat in six matches and leave their title defence at the mercy of a mathematical miracle. The hosts have six wins in as many games and are virtually assured of a semi-final place. Skipper Rohit Sharma led the charge with 87 as India posted 229-9, a total that looked below par but proved enough for a struggling England side on a sluggish pitch.
